A concerted effort Vi1.1•'be made toward individuals (fences) that make it possible for the burglar to dispose of• the fruits of the crime. We belipeve that the majority of 'stolen goods are delivered to organized fences and resold in other parts of'the county or state-, or in areas even more distant from the scene of the offense. It is •• obvious that the mass movement of stolen property can only•be performed by members of a highly organized criminal group. .Team members will be an attorney for legal advice and "direction, an auditor to inspect the books of a business that is suspected of criminal activity, a systems analyst to coordinate line activities with computer operations and disseminate appro- priate statistical data, and a steno clerk to' provide necessary clerical support. The City of Miami Police Department will furnish eight investi- gators and a stpervisor to concentrate on the identification of persons • dealing in stolen property. The newest electronic devices will•be utilized to•help trace the movement of stolen property. Business, civic, and private groups will be apprised of organized fencing activities and their impact on the community. Cooperation and coordination with other. police agencies - aimed at identifying fences will be .stressed. •Informa•nts wiT1 be devolbped along with other information sources in order to ferret out criminal acts:: The primary aims of the project.are to swiftly and ' accurately identify the persons responsible for the disposal of stolen property, and successfully present cases in count.' , . • • - M l'ai ►'O TIVL DOCUMENT TO -4336O
